Day 3: Orlando, FL to Miami, FL

First bit of sight seeing: we went to Kennedy Space Center. Here is heading towards it:

We had a nice chat with one of the security guards when we parked, as a big crowd of people descended on the trio of Elises. Given the amount we had to pay to get into the Space Center we could have subsidised that with charging for rides in the cars.

Having said that Kennedy Space Center is an amazing place; awe inspiring, immense and very humbling. Truly the pinnacle of human achievement in my opinion.

I had a nice time meeting a family from Ireland. I got my fix of talking football :) Meeting them triggered memories of our family trip to Florida in 1983 (I think), although their kids were a lot more well behaved than we were (again, I think!).

After the space center we moved on down to Miami. The traffic behaviour changed again about half way down. In northern Florida people are just fast drivers. Further south they are not only fast but pretty awful, and quite aggressive. We think one guy in his Acura blew his engine trying to weave and race around us. We had one police car pulling up beside us at a light, but she just wanted to hear about our travels and what club we belonged to.

The hotel is nice and relaxing:

I am currently having a bloody mary outside a cafe in South Beach, Miami, but more about today tomorrow :)
